    @SallyCPA ,yes I couldn't fill evenzeros in 2 SIMs .
    I assumed fail because I did better in Q1 and ended up with 68.Since I did worst than Q1 I assume fail.On top of that in Q1 there were 60 % MCQ and I had almost did mcq 100% correct.Now it's 50% and at least 3 MCQ I have doubt .Again ,SIMs is definitely not better than Q1.I don't believe in miracle but somehow I am optimistic for Q3 as people are coming out of FAR exam with minor bruises and little bit of black eye.
    Right now I am able to solve mCQ in 1 minute or less and if I take more than that then I try to find out some ways to crash time.I make some scribbles based on that type of question and try again.This process sometimes takes more than 15 minutes to save 20 seconds.So I am hoping it would be less than 100 minutes for MCQ. Anyway there is just little more than a month between 17th August and 21st Sep.Again ,I will catch up with you future CPA just after 1 month.

    @wannafree Thanks. Don't completely write off your May attempt yet…you never know!



    @anthony

    @Wannabe You still have a chance, especially if you did well on the MCQ and other sims. Based off other peoples experiences alot of people left sims blank in Q2.



    @Mtaylo24
    I have a very strong feeling you passed..my research question was ridiculous as well. ALthough I did feel like I was making eduated guesses on most of my sims..

    This wait is killing me. I am already on Chap. 6 of becker with anticipation that I will have to take it again. What is everyone else doing for review ( for those that are just doing it precautionary?)

    @iceman6 That's exactly how I feel. I started to get anxious when Aug 1 was on the calendar because I realized our scores were getting released this month. Now every day my heart pounds harder and harder when I think about my FAR score. On the one hand, if I pass, then I'm done taking any tests for the rest of my life. On the other hand, if I fail, I spend countless hours studying everything I've already studied before and lose time with my family. Ugh. Let's all hope we don't ever have to pick up a FAR study guide again!

    It's just such a weird feeling this time taking exam under new format because we do not know how a new exam grading will affect our score when under the old exam you kinda knew if you bombed something but still had a chance of hope for a pass. Does anyone else feel like the new exam could be completely different then how they feel and when you get your score you could be like how is that possible? I don't know I'm going stir crazy since waiting for results. I like how you login in to get your score and its just a number but behind that number is so much details.

    @cruzer definitely will be interesting to see how they grade it. I have always believed in the harder it was the better you probably did but its tough to see if the same holds true for the new exam. How did you feel your sims were?

    @SALLYCPA I find the harder the exam the better not really true, maybe for MC tho since they are adaptive. It's either you know the answers or don't and that's what it comes down to. The SIMs to me were not crazy difficult besides 1 or 2 foreign object ones. The multi doc SIMs seem to overwhelm a lot of people but it's just because there is a lot of information to sort thru. I had 4 multi-doc SIMs and 1 DRS. I tried to calculate how I did on SIMs and feel like I might of got 80%ish on them overall. So if I got a SIM right that say more people flopped on would I get more points on? I am always confused on how a 75 is not a raw score based on if all questions were a set value of points

    @Cruzer The problem with the new test is they have no basis to go off in terms of scoring. I honestly think that the AICPA will have to be more forgiving for Q2 (even if they do not want to) considering the fact that they have nothing to go off, hence why it is taking them so long to grade it. I am already studying for a retake in the first week of September though..is anyone else?

    Maybe..but other than the AICPA, who knows how the AICPA are grading these exams? For all you know they could be playing a game of darts with our scores. There no transparency other than the vague score report you get. That is why there no point in worrying about scoring of the exam. Just have to study, give it all you got on exam day and just pray you did enough to warrant a pass.

    @SallyCPA Haven't touch the material at all since I took my last section, but I'm 100% ready to cram another exam in what ever is left in this quarter if I find out I failed. Just need a spot on Prometrics.

    @Anthony ,”could be playing a game of darts with our scores” good one ,that's why it's taking time as there too many CPA candidates and there are 4 sections.
    @SallyCPA ,It's partly cloudy SIMs and yes I have made very slow progress in last two months.I puke after reading every 2 pages as no unknown are known.
    It's intresting because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns

      – the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of CPA exam it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.(Donald Rumsfeld when he took CPA exam and was waiting for result)
